Or cut the straps and give it away on a FB site when the event is going on if I didn't need to buy anything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-do-with-your-los-infant-car-seat#post-2610557 Thu, 25 Aug 2016 10:34:56 +0000 MOMTOLITTLEB 2610557@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I see parents on local yard sale sites looking for old car seats for Babies R Us trade-ins. I would definitely cut the straps so it can't be used, just so there's no misunderstanding. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-do-with-your-los-infant-car-seat#post-2610556 Thu, 25 Aug 2016 10:34:53 +0000 Foodnerd81 2610556@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ours expires in December as well. I'm planning on either throwing it out (cutting it so no one can try to use it) or saving it for a BRU trade in event. But we are also planning to use it until then since the baby turns one in December. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-do-with-your-los-infant-car-seat#post-2610550 Thu, 25 Aug 2016 10:31:22 +0000 looch 2610550@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I gave it to a friend, but it still had a long way to go before it expired.</p> <p>I have a convertible on my hands that will expire at the end of this year. I plan to cut the straps, remove the liner and bring the whole thing to the dump. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-do-with-your-los-infant-car-seat#post-2610547 Thu, 25 Aug 2016 10:30:15 +0000 avivoca 2610547@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With such a close expiration date, I would destroy it or donate it to a local CPST to use as a demo seat. I wouldn't try to sell it because people may use it past the expiration date and it will no longer be safe. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-do-with-your-los-infant-car-seat#post-2610531 Thu, 25 Aug 2016 10:16:42 +0000 yoursilverlining 2610531@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I sold mine on a local FB yardsale site </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-do-with-your-los-infant-car-seat#post-2610280 Thu, 25 Aug 2016 10:15:00 +0000 autumnlove 2610280@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are done with our Chicco Keyfit and I am not sure what to do with it. It served us well with our 3 kids but it has a December 2016 expiration date.</p> <p>Did you just throw it away or recycle it? I think I that heard donation centers will not accept car seats? </p>
